We’ve played 10 of the 12 spring games scheduled by SEC teams in 2015, with Arkansas and Tennessee set to play Saturday.

As we head toward the SEC meetings next month in Destin, Fla., every program can identify one or two areas perceived as concerns.

We take a look at a few of those and determine whether the concern is legitimate or overblown.

FLORIDA’S OFFENSIVE LINE

Status: Concern

Even Gators beat writers rarely can name offensive linemen beyond Trip Thurman and Martez Ivey, who hasn’t yet arrived on campus in Gainesville.

Roderick Johnson discovered a career-ending spinal condition following a spring practice injury, and Thurman sat out due to a shoulder problem. The only Florida offensive lineman with starting experience, an injury to Thurman during the season would mean playing with five first-year starters.

That’s not a winning formula in the SEC, especially with a green quarterback and shaky depth at receiver.

TENNESSEE’S LACK OF DEPTH

Status: Concern

The fans once again are fully engaged. Butch Jones has overhauled the marketing and talent of this team. Simply put, the Vols are a sexy program right now.

But, as Jones has noted, the team’s talent level could drop significantly with one or two injuries at positions like quarterback, running back, offensive line and linebacker. If you’re among the group either rooting for or projecting Tennessee as SEC East champions, that’s got to be a major concern.

When healthy, the starting 11 on either side of the football is good enough to compete for, if not win, a conference championship. But it takes more than 22 players to win the SEC. The Vols could be one more year away from that.

VANDERBILT QB PATTON ROBINETTE’S DECISION TO LEAVE FOOTBALL

Status: Concern

After searching for a quarterback the entirety of coach Derek Mason’s first year as head coach, the team concluded its spring practice finally settling on an answer: Patton Robinette.

Then Robinette, citing the pursuit of a medical career and health concerns, announced he no longer will pursue football. The timing of the move felt depressing, right after the Commodores exited spring with some positive momentum, at least internally.

More concerning, the remaining options have all but proven they’re not capable of leading a winning SEC offense this season. Maybe something drastic will change between now and the fall — say, incoming four-star Kyle Shurmur proving he’s a superior talent in a few weeks of preseason camp — but more than likely, Vandy will enter the season again without a comfortable option at quarterback.

MIZZOU’S INABILITY TO MOVE THE BALL

Status: Not a concern

This one doesn’t fit into a neat category. The Tigers knew the defense would be way ahead of the offense this spring even before three important starters missed nearly all of the three scrimmages.

The offensive struggles are harsh enough to raise an eyebrow. But Maty Mauk and the receivers seemed to make incremental progress to conclude spring ball, and the group went through some similar struggles last year before winning the SEC East.

Mizzou’s defense could be the best in the SEC East in 2015, and the running game should do well with Russell Hansbrough. As long as this group continues to improve through the early non-conference schedule in September, the team should be fine.

ARKANSAS’ LOSS OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

Status: Not a concern

I admit, entering spring practice, I felt like Arkansas’ front seven could take a major step backward in ’15. That’s what happens when you lose a cluster of talent like Trey Flowers, Darius Philon and Martrell Spaight, right?

Wrong.

  1. I trust defensive coordinator Robb Smith.
  2. Philon and Spaight should get drafted, but the more I’ve studied them, they aren’t necessarily elite talents like Flowers.
  3. The team is building some nice depth up front for 2015.

The projected starting line, assuming Deatrich Wise gets back in coach Bret Bielema’s good graces, is Wise, Bijhon Jackson, Taiwan Johnson and JaMichael Winston. It’s not a group that will make your jaw drop, but collectively, that’s a pretty nice front line.

Brooks Ellis is set to assume Spaight’s role at linebacker, while newcomers Jeremiah Ledbetter and Hjalte Froholdt should make an impact on the line as rotational players. Don’t be surprised if the Razorbacks nearly are just as strong against the run in 2015.

WHO’S THE BETTER LSU QB, ANTHONY JENNINGS OR BRANDON HARRIS?

Status: Not a concern

Whether Anthony Jennings or Brandon Harris wins the starting job to start the season seems inconsequential from my vantage point.

It would help if the team picked a player, so that it could fast-track that guy by securing him a greater portion of the practice reps and meeting-room resources. But, despite how different Jennings and Harris are in terms of attributes, neither player has separated himself.

Luckily, LSU’s receivers look much improved. If the team leans on Leonard Fournette, throws more often to the tight ends and allows the receivers to make some plays, regardless of the number on the quarterback’s jersey, the offense should be adequate.

ALABAMA’S UNCERTAINTY IN THE SECONDARY

Status: Not a concern

Exiting spring, Alabama doesn’t have a star defensive back on the level of Landon Collins.

What it does have is an intense competition among physically-gifted players for four spots. The safeties may not have the run-stopping prowess of Collins and Nick Perry, but could be even better from a coverage standpoint.

Hiring a secondary coach in Mel Tucker was a smart move. The secondary made plenty of interceptions during spring practice. Alabama should have more trust for whomever gets labeled a starter in addition to a deep, developing pool of backups in case any of them should falter — on or off the field.
